The ideas you're expressing fall on the benign end of a continuum of a lot of things done to women, and the "she was asking for it" defense still holds up in a lot of places.
No DrPete, I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying people have to own what they do. A woman has the right to walk through Central Park at 2AM. Doing so would be stupid. So when she gets *****, sure the guy is wrong. Does it make her right?
My point is, having a right doesn't make it right. And quite frankly, I have no desire to be PC. I'm extremely tired of watching movements go from people not having rights to those same people abusing rights. And when it comes to women being provocative, it's not anyones personal view of whether or not she is, but the general opinion that will matter. And if a woman is seen as a dick tease, there won't be much sympathy for her when she gets called on it. Again, own what you do.
